"In the future days, which we seek to make
secure, we look forward to a world founded upon
four essential human freedoms.

"The
first is freedom of speech and expression-everywhere
in the world. The second is freedom of every person
to worship God in his own way-everywhere in the
world. The third is freedom from want-which, translated
into world terms, means economic understandings
which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime
life for its inhabitants-everywhere in the world.
The fourth is freedom from fear-which translated
into world terms, means a worldwide reduction
of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough
fashion that no nation will be in a position to
commit an act of physical aggression against any
neighbor-anywhere in the world."
